Die Corona-Pandemie tötet Menschen, gefährdet Familien, Freunde, Gemeinschaften, Unternehmen, Gesellschaften, Wirtschaften und globale Netzwerke. Es ruft die Triage wieder auf den Plan, Arbeitslosigkeit, Abstandsregelungen und Home Schooling. Die Länder antworten verschieden, schränken oft Büürger- und Grundrechte ein. Familien und Freunde können sich nicht sehen, ihre Kranken nicht besuchen und die Sterbenden nicht begleiten. Diese Pestilenz ist eine kulturelle, wirtschaftliche und politische Krankheit. 16 füührende Wissenschaftler in Medizin und Soziologie, Politik, Religion und Beratung bieten diverse, teils kontroverse Antworten, zusammengestellt von Martin Woesler (Changsha und Witten/Herdecke) und Hans-Martin Sass (Washington DC/Bochum).

The Corona pandemic kills people, endangers families, friends, communities, companies, institutions, societies, economies and global networks. It brings about triage, unemployment, social distancing, and home schooling. Countries respond differently, often set aside civil and basic human rights. Families and friends cannot get together, visiting the sick, nor attending funerals. This pestilence is clearly a cultural, economic and political disease. 40 leaders in medical and sociological research, in politics, religion, and consulting from 24 countries offer diverse, sometimes controversial answers, collected by Martin Woesler and Hans-Martin Sass .

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Ethik, Note: 1,3, FOM Hochschule für Oekonomie & Management gemeinnützige GmbH, Köln, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die gegenwärtige Covid-19-Pandemie fordert nicht nur allgemein unsere Gesellschaft heraus, sondern auch im speziellen unser deutsches Gesundheitssystem, mit all seinen Mitarbeitern. Die seit März 2020 flächendenkend bestehenden freiheitsbeschränkenden staatlichen Maßnahmen, sollen dazu dienen einen exponentiellen Anstieg infizierter Personen zu verhindern. Gelingt dies nicht, könnte das deutsche Gesundheitssystem an seine Kapazitätsgrenzen gelangen. Auch wenn aus dieser Krise aktuell eine neue Gemeinschaft und Zusammenhalt entsteht, die Arbeit Hand in Hand läuft, so wird das medizinische Personal nicht nur körperliche Narben aus dieser Zeit mitnehmen, sondern auch Narben auf der Seele. Bereits vor der Pandemie galt ein Drittel das klinische Personal als gefährdet an Burn-Out zu erkranken. Über die psychischen Folgen mit denen wir nach Covid-19 zu kämpfen haben werden, kann man sich jetzt noch nicht vorstellen. Zudem fehlt dem Krankenhaus das Arbeitsmaterial, im speziellen Medikamente, Beatmungsgeräte und Monitore, um alle 45 Intensivbetten belegen zu können. Weitere europäische Länder vermelden bereits Tote aufgrund fehlender Beatmungsgeräte. Für die Zeit, wenn auch in Deutschland der Zustand erreicht wird, in dem keine ausreichenden intensivmedizinischen Ressourcen zur Verfügung stehen, sollten jetzt schon Überlegungen getroffen werden. Laut Schätzungen kommen auf 100.000 Deutsche, die ein erhöhtes Erkrankungsrisiko haben, aktuell 90 bis 120 Beatmungsgeräte. Gerade, weil andere europäische Länder beatmungstechnisch schlechter ausgestattet sind, werden hier infizierte Personen über 80 Jahre nicht mehr beatmet. Wer möchte so eine Entscheidung fällen, wenn wir in Deutschland vor den Problemen stehen?

Resilience is one of the hottest terms in the modern humanities, social sciences and beyond. The reason for this is the current situation at various levels, from ecological, health, economical to political, which requires the formation of resilience from individuals, communities, countries, institutions and humanity as a whole. The term resilience refers to a new realistic paradigm in tackling the challenges required by the modern world, in which changes are happening faster and faster and are becoming less transparent and predictable. Therefore, the paradigm of stability and protection against disturbances is no longer realistic and has been replaced by the paradigm of resilience. People, natural and social systems can no longer be protected from ruptures, but must become as resilient as possible. This, in turn, raises a number of issues involving ethical questions and challenges for religions. This book addresses these issues in a holistic and interdisciplinary way that fits the multifaceted nature of resilience.

The crucial question of our time is: How to preserve humanity, humanitas, in a world of radical and not so long ago practically unimaginable technological possibilities? The book addresses this issue through its treatment of transhumanism, a diverse movement the representatives of which promise and advocate for the enhancement of human being through modern science, technology, and pharmacology. Their views differ in the degree of extremity, and they contain many ambiguities, as well as pitfalls and dangers that require an answer from both ethical and religious points of view. The book deepens the understanding of transhumanism in an interdisciplinary way and thus helps to form the right attitude towards it that will truly benefit human flourishing. It offers a rich variety of views on transhumanism, ranging from its illumination in the light of contemporary research into happiness, through liberal eugenics and biopolitics, all the way to its considerations in terms of religions and manifestations in concrete works of art.

Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child establishes the right to participation: children and adolescents are entitled to participate and to have their views taken into account in all issues affecting them in accordance to their age and maturity. The volume explores this right to participation in residential care. The impact of participation and complaint procedures in residential care facilities are evaluated by means of crucial results from an empirical study. How do these participation and complaints procedures work? The authors discuss crucial facilitators and barriers with regard to the implementation of children’s rights to participate.
